- - Biological age is a more accurate reflection of health than chronological age, and a study shows that a 16-week online physical activity program can significantly reduce biological age in breast cancer survivors post-surgery.
- - Although telomere length remained unchanged, the ELOVL2 epigenetic clock indicated that participants in the physical activity group experienced a reduction in biological age, linked to improvements in cardiovascular fitness and strength.
- - The study suggests that incorporating physical activity can support better recovery for breast cancer patients and highlights the potential of epigenetic clocks as a tool to assess health status and identify at-risk individuals.
Article Synopsis
- Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is projected to be a leading cause of death by 2040, highlighting the need for effective prevention and treatment strategies to lower healthcare costs.
- The study evaluated the impact of a 12-week intervention combining functional foods (FFs) and adapted physical activity (APA) on 40 CKD patients, compared to those receiving standard care.
- Results showed significant health improvements in the combined group, including reduced blood pressure and inflammation, increased muscle mass, and overall better quality of life for CKD patients.
Introduction: Purpose of our study was to compare two competing methods of performing bisyllabic word speech audiometry for the detection of the 50% speech reception threshold in noise (SRT50).
Methods: Classic method is performed submitting multiple word lists at a fixed signal-to-noise ratio. A newer Fast method - Italian Fast Speech Reception Threshold 50 (IFastSRT50) - is performed by means of program software with a single list of bisyllabic words and noise intensity shifting.
